[Dr H Flashman MBE]

Loving the Cardiff v Bath game. Mrs on lates, kids in bed and a glass of red..winning. It is end to end. Bath should win this easily but Cardiff are sticking to them like glue. Really enjoying be a neutral.

Saints really good in the first half but fell away in the second. A very good result for them; they seem to be going in the right direction.

After writing that blasphemy on here you need penance. Say "Tigers are always better than Saints" three times and that should do for absolution

Mea Culpa, mea maxima culpa

Is it OK to say Bath playing quite well?

No.

Championship game rather than European.

Pirates game against Ealing was abandoned yesterday after a player injuryto Ben Grubb

Score was 12-0 to Ealing at the time just before the 60 minute mark.

Though according to the pirates match report they were expecting a red card had the game been resumed.

Munster leading 19-10 at Exeter at half time. Exeter defending very narrow all 3 of Munster tries being scored out wide

[Rugbygramps]

Harvey Skinner lucky there imo. Can see that being cited, at least a yellow

Not even a penalty IMHO! Commentators talking it up

How? He is high and on 1 angle shows neck contact. How can you say not even a penalty ?

No wonder there are issues with concussion and head injuries

Ridiculous statement. People are wanting the tackle to be below the sternum. I can only think you feel the sternum is located in the lower neck

[Rugbygramps]

Anyway fair play to Exeter they have come back and won that really well.
Will be a tough job for Tigers next week that’s 22 games at home unbeaten

[DeadlyDunc]

At least 2 Exeter forwards massively offside and in the way of Murray but apparently because they don’t touch it they are fine.

I’d be seething if I was Munster

[Tigers86asw]

Whatever you think about the tackle I really like the ref sticking to his guns on some big calls.

Given the laws the Exeter player should have been lower either way. Don’t give the TMO a chance to be the centre of attention!
